My wife will kill me if 1 come home with another neveshirt." I would be able to retire. I often laugh after hearing this or the fact that you have 30+ golf shirts at home. My ques- tion is always how often do you golf? Depending on their response 1 can give them an idea of how many golf shirts they actually need in their closet. For example if you play 4=5 times a week a very basic wardrobe of 12 golf shirts over 20 weeks of golf is an average of 7 wears per shirt. 1 have some good news. You're going to be able to pur- chase new shirts if you follow my guidelines below for clean- ing out your closet of golf clothes. Step # 1: In order to .see what letters to the editor Column Ashley Gravett we are dealing with you must take out every piece of golf clothing you own. So grab those storage bins from down- stairs because they count. Step #2: This step is typically difficult for people it's the: Love it, Maybe and Nope. If it's in the love it pile it's because you would wear -it right now and the fit is per- fect. The maybe pile is typi- cally sentimental value and doesn't quite fit right now. Nope. pile is for anything that has stains, holes, buttons missing etc. The nope pile is very important because with 0 Canada — Let's Sing It! With all the wonderful concerts, plays and special events in Goder- ich, I am frequently surprised and disappointed that the singing of our National Anthem is not part of the program. In this our 150th anniversary year, 1 am even more taken aback as it would seem even more appropriate to have it included. 1 feel extremely fortunate to be a Canadian; l am very proud to be a Canadian and I would like to be able to express those .feel- ings by singing our National Anthem as often as possible, shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Canadians. At this time golf clothes and the moisture wicking fabric they don't last and need to he thrown out every two years. The other reason the nope pile is important is because of the sun damage done to our golf clothes after so many rounds. of golf. If your shirt has a certain scent to it because you wore it so much it needs to be thrown out. If they are discoloured or dull they go! Step 3: Assess what's left in your closet: your LOVE IT clothes. I like to organize my shirts so they are colour coor- dinated. This way you can see if you are missing any colours or if you have 5 Tiger Wood Sunday shirts. Take out your bottoms which have really changed over the last few years and are full of plaid, prints and multiple colours. Place your bottoms in a row and put all the shirts that , match with them on top. If especially, with so much of the world in chaos, I'd like us to ramp up our nationalism and express our appreciation for all that is ours to enjoy. So choir leaders, event planners, artistic directors - 1 challenge you _ to make this part of your public presentations this year and I you have bottoms that don't match any of your tops you already have they must go. Step 4: Hang all your golf shirts with the hook facing in. Once you wear them and wash them hangthe hook facing towards you and at the end of the season you will see which ones you didn't wear and those are the first to go before next season. Once you have gone through the three steps above make &note of what your golf closet is lacking now. Golf is like any fashion line out there. New trends, colours and patterns are always pop- ping up from season to sea- son. I ea-son.1 think it's veryimpor- tant to have a good selection of your basics that can go with any bottotn,s but to pick a new patterned top or bot- tom for the year and work with what you already have in your closet to match it. If you look good, you feel good. expect you will be met with enthu- siastic response from your audi- ences. Who knows, it might even "go viral" and we will find our- selves singing together long after year end. O Canada - Let's Hear 1t! Monica Mason Goderich resident frustrated with council's decision on maritime activity Dear Editor: It is regrettable that the Town seems to be joining Huron. County as its steps back from celebrating its almost 200 -year history of being a Lake Huron foundation for maritime activity. Council, by referring the future of the Marine Museum to the Works Depart- ment, without seeking any input from the Heritage Committee, has essentially sealed its fate. The Huron County Museum (HCM) has already de -accessioned some marine displays in the last few years. The Town will now join in by demolishing the Marine Museum. I cannot help but won- der if the number one -ranked dis- play (as per visitor survey) at the HCM will continue to be the Great Lakes Storm of 1913? That in itself, should tell us something about the tourism potential for. enhancing commu- nity marine heritage themes.
